SUMMARY:Hudson Holes: A Community Mini Golf Project Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join Max Lazarowitz in building and devising Hudson Holes: A Community Mini Golf Project! Feel free to join us for one or all of the Community Workshops! \nWorkshops will be held on June 9\, June 15\, June 23\, and July 14\, 2024 from 1-4PM! Sign up above for June 9’s workshop. \nRSVP Encouraged\, Walk-ins Welcome!  \nMy name is Max Lazarowitz and I am in 9th grade at Ossining High School. I have lived in this town my entire life and I am committed to helping the Ossining community through creative projects. During the pandemic\, I proposed to the town to build a mini golf course to spread awareness about climate change. Not only is mini golf one of my favorite activities\, but it is fun and affordable for people of all ages. \nAfter submitting a letter and drawings to the town\, I was asked to participate in the Ossining Earth Day Festival and worked with a carpenter to build 2 prototype holes. The interest was overwhelming and after having it there twice (2022 and 2023)\, Bethany Arts Community (BAC) and our Town Supervisor and Mayor reached out to me to discuss next steps. This led to a connection with an organization called Submerse NY whose mission is to fund three local art projects that focus on the rising concern of flooding in the Hudson Valley. After a few meetings with everyone and sharing my plans and vision for this course\, I was the recipient of a grant from Submerse to make this happen. I am so excited for this opportunity! \nEach hole will be designed around the topic of climate change and the impact of increased flooding on our area. While I am bringing this project to Ossining\, I am hoping that everyone in our community and schools (kids and adults) will help me create it!  My goal is to use as many repurposed and recycled materials to build the course. I will be leading workshops through Bethany Arts Community so people of all ages can join me in creating different aspects of each hole. Workshops will include brainstorming\, painting\, and constructing!

SUMMARY:Hudson Holes: A Community Mini Golf Project Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join Max Lazarowitz in building and devising Hudson Holes: A Community Mini Golf Project! Feel free to join us for one or all of the Community Workshops! \nWorkshops will be held on June 9\, June 15\, June 23\, and July 14\, 2024 from 1-4PM! Sign up above for June 15’s workshop. \nRSVP Encouraged\, Walk-ins Welcome!  \nMy name is Max Lazarowitz and I am in 9th grade at Ossining High School. I have lived in this town my entire life and I am committed to helping the Ossining community through creative projects. During the pandemic\, I proposed to the town to build a mini golf course to spread awareness about climate change. Not only is mini golf one of my favorite activities\, but it is fun and affordable for people of all ages. \nAfter submitting a letter and drawings to the town\, I was asked to participate in the Ossining Earth Day Festival and worked with a carpenter to build 2 prototype holes. The interest was overwhelming and after having it there twice (2022 and 2023)\, Bethany Arts Community (BAC) and our Town Supervisor and Mayor reached out to me to discuss next steps. This led to a connection with an organization called Submerse NY whose mission is to fund three local art projects that focus on the rising concern of flooding in the Hudson Valley. After a few meetings with everyone and sharing my plans and vision for this course\, I was the recipient of a grant from Submerse to make this happen. I am so excited for this opportunity! \nEach hole will be designed around the topic of climate change and the impact of increased flooding on our area. While I am bringing this project to Ossining\, I am hoping that everyone in our community and schools (kids and adults) will help me create it!  My goal is to use as many repurposed and recycled materials to build the course. I will be leading workshops through Bethany Arts Community so people of all ages can join me in creating different aspects of each hole. Workshops will include brainstorming\, painting\, and constructing!

SUMMARY:“Our Wounds\, Our Power” Work-in-Process Showing with Skyla Schreter Dance
DESCRIPTION:“Our Wounds\, Our Power” Work-in-Process Showing with Skyla Schreter Dance\nDate & Time: Sunday\, June 30\, 2024 3:30-4:30PM\nFee: FREE! Community Program \nJoin Skyla Schreter Dance at Bethany Arts Community for a presentation showcasing the creative process of their newest project “Our Wounds\, Our Power.” Choreographer Skyla Schreter will lead the company dancers through a live demonstration of the various artistic influences that form the foundation of the project’s source inspiration. Showcasing excerpts of the new choreography created while in residence at BAC\, the presentation will illustrate how the particular artistic inspirations for the project – encompassing poetry\, painting\, costuming and music – come to life in the creation of the choreography. \nThis residency is supported by the New York State Council on the Arts Individual Artist Award – Choreography Commission. \nThis event is a Residency Community Program. As part of a residency at BAC\, we ask each artist to build and facilitate a Community Program. Community Programs are a unique opportunity for both artists-in-residence and our local community to gather\, engage\, and be in conversation with one another through art. Community Programs are free engagements open to the public and/or in collaboration with a local community partner. \nAbout “Our Wounds\, Our Power”\nPulling inspiration from feminist pioneers across artistic disciplines and scientific fields\, “Our Wounds\, Our Power’‘ examines healing as a continuum that is in constant flux\, rather than an end result that can be achieved. \nIn their residency at BAC\, Skyla Schreter Dance will experiment with forming a collective identity that traverses through various psychological\, sensational and emotional stages of healing\, particularly related to their experiences as womxn; investigating and interweaving the transitory nature of a cyclical process that is ever-evolving. \nChoreography for “Our Wounds\, Our Power” will be created by Skyla Schreter\, in collaboration with the dancers of Skyla Schreter Dance. “Our Wounds\, Our Power” references\, quotes and integrates artistic work from Mira Calix\, Adrienne Rich\, Michelle Silver and Lauren Carmen. \nAbout The Company\nSkyla Schreter (choreographer & artistic director)\nSkyla Schreter is a New-York based choreographer and multi-disciplinary artist\, formerly a dancer with San Francisco Ballet for six seasons\, where she created original roles in works by contemporary ballet choreographers including William Forsythe\, Justin Peck\, Cathy Marston and David Dawson\, to name a few.
